A Tribute to Col. W. D. ORR

Col. W. D. ORR died at his home at Diana Tenn., September 8, 1890, at 11 p.m. He was 76 years old. The remains were interred at Cornersville by the Knight Templar Masons of which he was a member.

As a father he was patient and devoted. As a friend he was loyal and firm. As a Knight Templar and Mason he was all that could be expected and loved the fraternities and gave a large portion of his time to the interest of the orders.

The bereaved children, grand children and friends that love him dearly have this comfort in their sorrow. that the summons did not find him unprepared for he was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and a devoted Christian, and met death like a brave man and a Christian.

No community has ever sustained the loss of a better citizen, a better Christian, a better man in every respect. May God bless the bereaved children and grand children.

September 11, 1890. R. A. BURGESS"
